Free download CamCamX CamCamX for Mac OS X. CamCamX is a 6x2 video mixer for live performance or webcasting which works with your Mac's built-in camera (or other QuickTime-compatible video input), movies, and still picture files.

Ok, so you have a MacBook with a built in iSight and MacOS keeps forgetting it even exists? You keep getting the infamous 'camera is not connected or is in use by another program' error message? You've come to the right place! After nights and nights of fiddling around I managed to fix this problem! Before I give you the link here’s a brief history of what I tried: - I’ve installed Ubuntu Linux with a hacked iSight firmware installer I found in some german website.

Sure that worked, only my iSight died again every time I turned off my mac. I tried installing BootCamp but never quite got there cause I never had enough space on my hardrive. I upgraded to Leopard, and that didn’t fix it either.

I tried rebooting with all those key combinations like command-control-shift-p-r and such. I tried reseting the pram as recommended by apple in their website, including taking out the battery and all that crap. I tried reinstalling the firmware with a firmware rescue disk - Ok, I tried every single solution I found on the web and none worked Untill I came across a site describing how to write kernell extensions and bla, bla boring but combined with the first Linux based solution I came up with a brilliant idea, and it worked! So here you go, here’s a tiny folder containing a StartupItem that will make your life better! Download Link: Installation instructions Drop the folder iSightFix inside /Library/StartupItems, change the permissions as explained below and restart your mac. Note that this is the top 'Library' folder and not the one inside your home folder. If there isn't a StartupItems folder there just create it.

You may need to fix the permissions but Leopard did it for me. Note: Snow Leopard will alert you that there's something wrong, it won't fix the permissions for you. Please follow the Terminal instructions below (still untested, but high chance that it will work). For novice users: Don't be afraid of the Terminal! The Terminal application is located inside Applications/Utilities. Copy and paste every line one by one, but only the text AFTER the $ sign. After each line press enter.

When you run the first line starting with 'sudo' the terminal will ask you for your password. Just enter your account password and hit 'enter'.

Terminal instructions: $ cd /Library/StartupItems $ sudo chown -R root iSightFix $ sudo chgrp -R wheel iSightFix $ sudo chmod -R 755 iSightFix $ ls -l drwxr-xr-x 6 root wheel 204 9 Dec 10:25 iSightFix The correct permissions should look like this (doing Apple-I on the iSightFix folder): Note on Snow Leopard: There have been mixed reports on this fix regarding Snow Leopard, it hasn't worked for many people, but it had for many others (including myself). Please report your success/workaround back here, for the benefit of everybody else. Alternative snow leopard fix: Jorge Hernandez came up with an alternative method for snow leopard that worked for him. In his own words: 'Attached to this email is a zipped file with two files to make this work, AppleUSBVideoSupport.kext (extracted from your iSight Fix) and Kext Helper b7.

What I did is open Kext Helper b7 and dragged the AppleUSBVideoSupport.kext to it, typed my password, clicked Easy Install, then clicked OK when prompted, and finally restarted. Apparently my iSight camera is working and functional.' Download alternative fix: Enjoy!! Screenshots of before: System profiler: After iSight Fix: Comments. Posted by Matt on Jul 18th, 2009 mmm. I didn't even expect it to work on a G5 in the first place! My first thought is that the startup item was not correctly installed, but if it worked the first time, then it obviously is installed.

Unless for some reason Leopard decided to uninstall it. Just go to /Library/StartupItems and make sure the isightfix is still there, and also make sure the permissions are correct. If you don't know much about terminal, just to a 'get info' on the isightfix (apple-i) and check the users and groups (all the way down in the bottom) The owner should be root and the group wheel.

Posted by Mark on Aug 16th, 2009 Well, I had to shelf the project for a short time. I reloaded tiger os and isight worked again.

Went to sleep, and when I woke it up, no photo booth. What I did notice was I had trash. The photo's I took were moved there and isight was again not working or showing up in the usb tree.

I finally figured out how to get into library and yes the isight fix is still there but, the owner does not contain 'root' and the group is already set to wheel. Thanks, Mark (G5 owner). Posted by admin on Aug 30th, 2009 Hi, I haven't updated to Snow Leopard yet, I was thinking about doing it sometime next month, but was thinking about getting a new MacBook at the same time, so I may not be able to debug this. I'd like to hear more reports about this, and if anyone has a solution please post it here.

To be honest, I was secretly hoping Snow Leopard would fix this problem. It's proven that it is only a software problem, and if I could fix it with a tiny Startup Item, then I'm sure Apple would be able to fix it as well. Posted by Dan on Sep 20th, 2009 Thanks. I've had the same problem on my iMac (Intel) Mac OS X 10.4.11. I think I'm missing something here.I've dragged the 'iSightFix' folder where it needs to go. I'm not sure how to repair the permissions as I've outlined.I've opened Terminal and pasted the content as follows, but not sure what to do with it.

Do I save that Terminal files somewhere? After typing it in, what do I need to do with it? Maybe more screen grabs could help? Thanks so much for your help. Posted by Ferroque on Nov 10th, 2009 Had this issue in Leopard, this fix worked.

At odd times it would recur and I'd simply need to re-install the fix and let Leopard re-adjust the permissions. Updated the macbook to SL just now, auto fix doesnt work and the security thing comes up. Manually change owner using the updated paramenters of root:wheel vs root.wheel and it works perfectly. I have yet to test this out over multiple reboots but suspect just as before, if it breaks, just do it all over again, copy file in, set root params manually, reboot. Posted by ramonf on Nov 25th, 2009 OK, I don´t use the webcam much, and I hit this problem today. I have a 2.5G Macbook Pro, with Snow Leop at version 10.6.2 with Linux on another partition loaded via rEFIt.

I only updated to subversion 2 of Snow Leop today. Isight did work in the beginning. Both Mattias' and Jorge' fixes don't fix it for me. As far as I can see (I only diff'd a few files) Jorge's files are the same as Mattias' and Jorge's alternative approach is to just put the essential directory into /System/Library/Extensions instead of /Library/Startup. I may be wrong on that, but that's how it looks initially. Kext Helper file Jorge uses seems to be a script to carry out the same permission wrangling that Mattias recommends to be done on the Terminal. I'll have to keep fiddling.

I'll report back here if there is progress. This page certainly seems to be the definitive one on this problem though. Posted by Andy on Jan 02nd, 2010 Neither works on my Mum's Intel iMac with Snow Leopard.

Her iSight hasn't worked for over a year. Which is pretty frustrating considering I bought it specifically to do intercontinental video chat with her! I suspect they don't work because a lot of these problems are caused by the vendorID of the iSight becoming corrupted. This one has a VendorID of acac - that's just plain WRONG.

Is there a way of modifying this fix so that the user can specify the vendorID and productID of the object they need repaired? I think if everyone having problems getting this working takes a look at their iSight in System Profiler, they'll find the vendorID is screwed up. Posted by PerMagnus on Jan 21st, 2010 I just tried Matt's iSightFix on my MBpro, all the permissions etc exactly as instructed, but unfortunately it doesn't work. I use(d) iSight lots for MaxMSPJitter tryouts. Suppose it's off to the mechanic. Model Name:MacBook Pro 17' Model Identifier:MacBookPro1,2 Processor Name:Intel Core Duo Processor Speed:2.16 GHz Number Of Processors:1 Total Number Of Cores:2 L2 Cache (per processor):2 MB Memory:2 GB Bus Speed:667 MHz Boot ROM Version:MBP12.0061.B03 SMC Version:1.5f10.

Posted by Mic Edwards on Mar 20th, 2010 The fix has not worked for me, but I have another symptom/sign to share. When I look at the USB bus using System Profiler after restarting the machine, the camera is there. As soon as I do anything to access the camera-open Photobooth, or Skype or iChat-the camera disappears from the USB bus. Is this what other people with this problem are seeing.

All the reports of this I have read so far talk about the camera being there on not. Nobody seems to be checking for this (I think) obvious connection. As soon as the OS goes to open the camera it disappears. Just me, or everyone else? Posted by Radu Purtuc on Mar 25th, 2010 Awesome!!!!

Had a new macbook solve the iSight issue in no time spared. Though, I had a tough time up to that moment figuring out what else I should be doing, not to mention online searches. Just a word to the owner, the text file built in the folder has some text cut out - so as long as others follow the terminal text from this page, everything is back to how it should be right after the reboot. This was a friend's macbook with a Cypress iSight hardware.

Not every mac comes with same iSight. Hardly a surprise, but worth mentioning.

Posted by Matt on Mar 28th, 2010 Hi, It looks like the problem you're having is not the one that this page tries to fix, since you say your isight works in other apps. I had the same issue when I upgraded to Snow Leopard. All apps worked except Skype and it turned out I once installed an app called CamCamX which fiddles with the isight. To fix the problem, I just had to remove the file: CamCamX.component from Library/QuickTime Sounds like if your problem is not the same the solution may be similar. Posted by Giorgio Terdina on Jun 01st, 2010 Many thanks for publishing this patch.

At first it did not work for me, but it did when I modified the Info.plist contained in the AppleUSBVideoSupport.kext package to match the Vendor and Product IDs shown in the System Profiler. When you get a 'Vendor specific' USB device, instead of 'Built-in iSight', it means that Vendor ID and/or Product ID in the firmware are corrupted.

In order to force firmware reloading, you must thus: 1. Take note of 'Vendor ID' and 'Product ID' shown in System Profiler; 2. Convert the two IDs from hexidecimal to decimal.

You can find a conversion utility here: Example. If Vendor ID is 0xffac, type ffac in the converter and click on 'to decimal' button (result for ffac is 65452); 3.

Take note of the two decimal values; 4. Open the downloaded iSightFix folder; 5. Open the Resources folder; 6. Cntrl-click on AppleUSBVideoSupport.kext; 7. Choose 'Show package contents'; 8.

Open the Contents folder; 9. Double click on the Info.plist; 10. Expand IOKitPersonalities (click on the arrow at left); 11. Expand 'Video support'; 12. Modify the value of idProduct to match the decimal value of 'Product ID'; 13. Modify the value of idVendor to match the decimal value of 'Vendor ID'; 14.

Save Info.plist (File menu-save); 15. Quit 'Property List Editor'; 16.

Drop the folder iSightFix inside /Library;/StartupItems, change permissions as described and restart your Mac; 17. Once the iSight is recognized by Mac OS/X, move the folder iSightFix from /Library/StartupItems to the Trash (you will be prompted for your password). Posted by Giorgio Terdina on Jun 01st, 2010 The fix should anyway be permanent or last, at least, until the iSight firmware gets corrupted again. This should not occur very often (in my case it happened after 4 years) unless you installed any software that tries to load a different firmware or incur any problem (e.g. Power failure) that erases/corrupts iSight memory.

The difference between the solution kindly provided by you and what I did, is that Vendor ID and Product ID on my system were ffac and 8300 instead of 04b4 and 8613. Others may find different values. The patch thus needs to be tailored to the situation of each different user. OS/X will load the firmware only if the IDs in the plist match those in the System Profiler. Once the firmware is loaded, the patch is not used anymore by OS/X, since the correct IDs (05ac/8501) do not match those of the plist.

Ciao from Italy Giorgio. Posted by mick on Jun 16th, 2010 I have a similar problem with my early 2008 macbook pro running 10.6.4: After reboot my iSight appears in the the System Profiler. If i then start Skype (with video) or Photo Booth (with camera on) and then move or touch the notebook screen the video disappears, the programs complain that no camera is attached and the iSight entry (Build in iSight) in System Profiler also disapperas (after closing and reopening the System Profiler). For the iSight to work again a reboot is required.

However, if I move / touch the screen while these applications (Skype, photbooth, etc) are NOT running then the iSight continues to work fine. Anybody experiencing the same problem?

Anybody experiencing the same problem? Posted by mosesk on Nov 29th, 2010 Holy S. It worked!! I wouldn't have believed it. I just picked up a MacBook Pro 17' 2.33GHz A1212 and and noticed the iSight was not working and System Profiler saw it as vendor-specific. I tore the computer apart to make sure the cabling and connections were OK. I was all ready to buy a new iSight camera/board and/or cable.

And then I came across your site. I currently have 10.5 on the MacBook Pro. But am right now upgrading to 10.6. If there is a change I'll let you know. Once again YOU ARE DA MAN!!

Posted by Amit on Dec 23rd, 2010 hi, have a now Mac Osx 10.6.5 Tried both the methods with no success:( Wondering if the permissions of the isightfix files are not being tweaked since the difference between the two methods is only relating to permissions of item in the startup items folder. Would request the authors to consider using batchmod v1.6.3 (available from at.Which is batch permissions tweaking utility. Have not used batchmod yet. Hope it works. Posted by Hussam on Feb 23rd, 2011 You sir.ROCK!!! Thx so awfully much now my wife can see me again.

I followed the initial instructions given t the beginning, ie dropped the folder into the library/startup and changed the permissions as stated. I got an error to start with cause I had also dropped the readme.txt in there hehe I have a Macbook pro, 2.66 GHz, i7, using snow leopard 10.6.6.

I am not sure what happened exactly for the camera to stop working, but now it is working again will update if this changes.but anyway THX!!!! Kind regards Hussam. Posted by hussam on Feb 23rd, 2011 @Bess, coincidentally I can answer your question as I did the same mistake you have probably done.

You have dropped the entire folder you downloaded in the startup folder. This is wrong.

Instead inside the folder you downloaded called 'isight fix folder' there is a subfolder called just 'isightfix' this is the folder you should copy from your download location into the startup folder and then follow the terminal instructions and you should hopefully be fine:) kind regards Hussam.
